Chapter 621: 87 Chapter Enchanting Demon_2
Shui Yue Pavilion Master glanced at her disciple, then nodded with a complex expression, “Yes, it’s over….”
“Which domain won in the end?” Lin Yao asked curiously.
“The Eastern Domain…” Shui Yue Pavilion Master felt the urge to facepalm.
“The Eastern Domain…” Lin Yao blinked, observing her master’s sowhat embarrassed look. The gentle and refined Miss Lin made a rough guess in her heart and managed to hold back her joy subtly as she tentatively asked, “Was it Young Master Lu?”
Shui Yue Pavilion Master nodded, a hint of surprise in her eyes, “This kid… how exactly did he do it?
He’s clearly just a Nascent Soul Cultivator, yet he managed to topple the Six Domains single-handedly, which is simply outrageous…
The Sword Sect really has produced another remarkable disciple!”
Lin Yao pondered for a mont, then nodded earnestly, “Who else but Lu Qingshan.”
“Cough…” Choked by her words, Shui Yue Pavilion Master saw the undisguised pride on Lin Yao’s face and quickly changed the subject.
The competition of the arenas might be over, but the aftereffects it caused were just beginning.
As for Lu Qingshan, although he didn’t mind his fa spreading, he currently just wanted to quietly push his mastery of Intent to Perfection and thus advance to Void Refining.
As a Nascent Soul Cultivator, he believed he had reached the pinnacle.
However, the trees might long for peace, yet the wind keeps blowing; if he wanted a quiet life, it depended on whether others would agree.
It was to be expected that so would co looking for him.
What he hadn’t anticipated was that soone would seek him out even before he had left Chang’an City.
And it was a person he had never imagined, yet couldn’t easily refuse.
“Lord Taiping wishes to see you,” said a middle-aged man from Great Xia who arrived at his door just an hour after the competition had ended.
In the Human Race, only the direct bloodline of the Great Xia Imperial Clan could be addressed as ‘Lord’.
The “Taiping” before ‘Lord’ signified a royal title.
Considering Chang’an is the capital of Great Xia, ‘Taiping’ is an extrely honorable title.
Those who receive such a title, even within Great Xia, are unimaginably honored.
The current bearer of this title is…
Xia Daojing!
Yes, it was the sa person who was behind Marquis Luotang, the one who had previously targeted him.
“What does Lord Taiping want with ?” Lu Qingshan frowned slightly.
Xia Daojing and Xia Daoyun were not on good terms, and he was Xia Daoyun’s chief disciple. Under normal circumstances, Xia Daojing suddenly seeking a eting with him didn’t bode well…
No, I must stay loyal to my master.
“How would I know the Lord’s thoughts?” The middle-aged cultivator chuckled, seeing Lu Qingshan’s intention to refuse, he added, “The Lord said, if you visit just this once, you may borrow the ‘Mind-Clarifying Bodhi’ upon your entry to the Source Realm.”
Lu Qingshan’s refusal stopped abruptly.
The ‘Mind-Clarifying Bodhi’ is a treasure left by a Buddhist Bodhisattva, which can enlighten one as if awakening from sleep, leading to sudden enlightennt and a transcendental state.
In layman’s terms, it benefits a cultivator’s comprehension of Intent.
Lu Qingshan had yet to use his chance to comprehend the Source Realm, which he gained from the Seven Domains Forum.
He was already at a bottleneck and was planning to break through it using the Source Realm, which is why he was temporarily staying in Chang’an City and had not returned to the Sword Sect with Xi Xiang and the others.
However, the Source Realm is rely a Holy Land for understanding Intent; it can indeed increase the probability of comprehension, but that’s about it.
Even for Lu Qingshan, there was no absolute guarantee that he could further improve his Intent through the Source Realm.
After all, what he possessed was Primordial Intent, which substantially increased the difficulty of advancent alongside its power—this is the balance of the Heavenly Dao.
If initially, he had only a fifty percent chance of breakthrough in the Source Realm, with the aid of ‘Mind-Clarifying Bodhi,’ his chances would rise to seventy percent….
Hmm, uninvited favors could indicate ill intentions. Let’s see what this Lord Taiping is up to…
That’s right, indeed.
Lu Qingshan nodded, exhaling a breath of stale air, “Lead the way.”
…..
Xia Daojing’s chosen location to et Lu Qingshan was a secluded garden by the lakeside.
“This way, please,” said the middle-aged cultivator with a calm deanor as he led Lu Qingshan into the garden, through the front courtyard to the back.
Lu Qingshan remained silent along the way, contemplating Xia Daojing’s intentions.
From the general to the particular, judging from the way the middle-aged cultivator led the way with neither arrogance nor servility and with proper etiquette, it was clear that he was no ordinary person.
As such was his subordinate, Xia Daojing was likely not to be much different.
The more accomplished the guide, the more enigmatic Lu Qingshan found Xia Daojing’s intentions to be.
The deeper they went, the fewer pavilions there were. Soon, a sparkling lake ca into Lu Qingshan’s view.
Lotuses were planted all over the lake; their leaves were as big as jade plates, stacked in layers, flowers blooming splendidly.
By the lakeshore, a woman was feeding the spirit fish in the lake, seeming to be extrely focused as if she was handling so rare treasure.
Lu Qingshan imdiately realized that she must be the person he was here to see, Xia Daojing.
Being a cultivator, she naturally wouldn’t wear the heavy and lavish garnts of a worldly royal; thus, Lord Taiping was clad in a dark-colored close-fitting robe that outlined her graceful curves.
Her flowing hair was slightly coiled up, covering half of her face, and Lu Qingshan could only catch glimpses of her sharp jawline and the half of her face that peeked through.
